Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Online Marketing
German term or phrase: reichweitenstark
Überschrift in einer Präsentation; Zielgruppe = werbetreibende Unternehmen.

**Reichweitenstark, große Markenbekanntheit**

In einem Marketing-Fachwörterbuch (Hg. Pawlenka) steht *wide-coverage*, was mich aber nicht überzeugt, zumal es hier nicht um die Reichweite von Print-Titeln geht, sondern um eine Website und somit um Visits und Unique User. Danke für Eure Vorschläge!

Explanation:
Sounds powerful to me with actual as well as metaphorical meaning.

It would be easier to rewrite this, though I know we don't have that luxury, so some looser suggestions ...broad market presence or large hit count perhaps?

Thanks everyone.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  EC Translate: Not sure if you will find a one worded adjective in English for this term. If not a slogan like initially mentioned, we would go with Helen here and suggest "one of the most wide-reaching newsportals in Europe"

agree  Textklick: I like 'wide reach'. The trad Brit 'coverage' has long since been replaced by the US 'reach'. Hit count is relevant, but see asker comments. Market presence?? Nope.
